>> Raf Simons utilized what he is best known for — razor-sharp tailoring — in the production of Jil Sander's Pre-Fall 2011 collection. Scandinavian furniture-fabric swatches influenced the color-blocked prints and Simons's choice of hues like currant, forest green, and mustard. And silk dresses decorated with heavy brushstroke prints were inspired by Russian artist Serge Poliakoff.
